✦ Synopsis

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the long arm of chromosome 7 occurs frequently in many types of primary cancers. We analyzed 22 primary ovarian cancers for LOH of chromosome arm 7q using a set of 16 microsatellite markers in order to determine the location of a putative tumor suppressor gene (TSG). Eleven samples (50%) showed LOH at least at one locus on chromosome arm 7q. We identified the smallest commonly deleted region to be at 7q31.1, which includes D7S523. LOH of chromosome arm 7q was more frequent in advanced stages (III-IV) (7/9, 78%) than in early stages (I-II) (4/13, 31%) of ovarian cancer (P,0.05). These data suggest that alteration of a TSG at 7q31.1 gene plays an important role in advanced ovarian cancer.

## Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 3p and 9p has been documented in a variety of malignancies, which suggests the presence of tumor suppressor gene loci on these chromosomes. We have studied 77 oral carcinomas for LOH using 16 microsatellite markers distributed over 5 human chromosomes.

Deletions involving the chromosome 9p21 region have been reported as frequent events in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To investigate potential tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) loci within the 9p21 region, which also harbors the candidate TSG locus CDKN2a, we studied 32 cases of primary NSCLC for lo
